I would say yes tho in the sense of being a Black women and being heated at how her image is projected through out the world…she has “A right to be hostile!!!!”<BR/><BR/>2. I haven’t checked up all the way…but I kinda sure that via some of the various hip hop sites I puroose some advertisers pulled out and the show is basically deaded…<BR/>If its not true tho..it would take…a substantial amount of black persons from ALL segments of society to denounce this show…. The thing is…BET…is not only a false moniker because its not owned by black people…but also a lot of its viewership isn’t black, and they along with eh millions of black people who would gladly subscribe to watching the show could generate an audience strong enough to renouce calls for its demise…<BR/><BR/>3. Depends ….<BR/>From a business stand point….Hell No…every body ….gawks at a car accident. Even tho I’ve only visited the hot ghetto mess site…ummm maybe 3 times in my life…when I did go ..i spent a significant amount of time there… HGM it’s a great money making proposition for his company and from that position only. I wouldn’t listen to the lady with a good cause …<BR/><BR/>As a black man tho…. He should have “Living Large” and "Bamboozled" “nightmares on constant<BR/><BR/>I like the share holder sentiment…. the thing is this tho..….. Share holders want money…so would it be a righteous share holder thing..<BR/><BR/>It is a solution tho…and intrigued the mind…..Damehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03982320011550967426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14243811.post-9308794392727156442007-07-19T11:38:00.001-04:002007-07-19T11:38:00.001-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.M.Dot.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05113752779973426025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14243811.post-74223952074635352112007-07-19T11:38:00.000-04:002007-07-19T11:38:00.000-04:00I wonder how different Black folks reactions would...I wonder how different Black folks reactions would be if any of these shows were scheduled to air on any other channel besides bet....oh and tvone?<BR/>=======<BR/>Actually.

Their reputation in the industry is sub-par. <BR/><BR/>It appears as though they are looking to capitalize off the controversy. <BR/><BR/>The fact that one of their own created the website and basically focused it until they decided to develop it into a tv show. <BR/><BR/>Pointing fingers and laughing at people has never been nice and that's why I don't play with them!A.u.n.t.

For shows like HGM, the networks don't anticipate these shows lasting long enough to reach syndication or even a full season. Thats why shows like these are summer shows or midseason replacements. As long as the ad revenue and some sort of rating is there, so will the show. IF people revolt and protest the show, they can run the whole arc they had planned before being forced to take the show off.<BR/><BR/>So of course Hudlin should and probably will respond. Because by the time it all boils over the show will already be over.<BR/><BR/>Advertisers, stockholders, and then the public(in that order)determine whether a questionable show stays on the airAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14243811.post-30489230523339076772007-07-18T17:21:00.000-04:002007-07-18T17:21:00.000-04:00This always does seem to become a class issue.

I'm not sure, but maybe the people we call the "upper-class Blacks".<BR/><BR/>If you're a Black person that has had all the benefits of "privilege", like Ms.-What-About-Our-Daughters talks about, maybe it's in your best interest to separate yourself from the "other Negroes" to keep your "favorable" position.<BR/><BR/>If Mr. or Ms. Upper Class Black is at the water cooler at their corporate job, they can be like "those people on HGM don't rep us!" to gain favor with the non-black co-workers. Then it can be a guilt-absolving win-win for the co-workers because they can be like "yeah, we co-sign, those Blackies are stupid, but we know <I>YOU'RE</I> not like 'em. Your kids can still play with ours."<BR/><BR/>This is when they can claim that some of their best friends are Black. <BR/><BR/>Just a thoughtPerfect Stormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03950062655380880200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14243811.post-30299298987780535172007-07-18T17:00:00.000-04:002007-07-18T17:00:00.000-04:00I'm surprised with all the multimillionaires we go...I'm surprised with all the multimillionaires we got this hasn't been done yet.<BR/>=======<BR/>I have the answer.<BR/><BR/>Whose interest's are being served by BET's programming consisting of what it is?M.Dot.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05113752779973426025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14243811.post-45026520920723280362007-07-18T16:37:00.000-04:002007-07-18T16:37:00.000-04:00Her intentions and what she has said thus far are ...Her intentions and what she has said thus far are par excellence. The problem now lies with the rallying for support to ax the show. At the end of the day Viacom will do what Viacom wants, notice I didn't say BET.<BR/><BR/>If ppl refuse to watch the show, ratings will plummet and they'll be forced to go back to the drawing board.<BR/><BR/>What I think should be done at this point is black folk getting together to churn out quality programming. I'm surprised with all the multimillionaires we got this hasn't been done yet. Good ol' boy network that strong in the media? Or can't we just do this on our own at all?neohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00482376355312549331noreply@blogger.com
